LTA (Lane Tracing Assist) LTA functions When driving on a road with clear lane lines with the dynamic radar cruise control operating, lane lines and preceding and surrounding vehicles are detected using the front camera and radar sensor, and the steering wheel is operated to maintain the vehicle’s lane position. Use this function only on highways and expressways. If the dynamic radar cruise control is not operating, the function will not operate. In situations where the lane lines are difficult to see or are not visible, such as when in a traffic jam, support will be provided using the path of preceding and surrounding vehicles. If the system determines that the steering wheel has not been operated for a certain amount of time or the steering wheel is not being firmly gripped, the driver will be alerted and this function will be temporarily canceled. If the steering wheel is firmly gripped, the function will begin operating again. When the function is operating, if the vehicle is likely to depart from its lane, the driver will be alerted via a display and buzzer. When the buzzer sounds, check the area around the vehicle and carefully operate the steering wheel to move the vehicle back to the center of the lane. Warning: Before using the LTA system Do not overly rely on the LTA system. The LTA system is not a system which provides automated assistance in driving and it is not a system which reduces the amount of attention necessary for safe driving. The driver is solely responsible for paying attention to their surroundings and operating the steering wheel as necessary to ensure safety. Also, the driver is responsible for taking adequate breaks when fatigued, such as when driving for a long time. Failure to perform appropriate driving operations and pay careful attention may lead to an accident. When not using the LTA system, turn it off using the LTA switch. When turning off LTA When it is necessary to disable the system: When it is necessary to disable the system Note: Operating conditions of function This function is operable when all of the following conditions are met: The LTA system detects lane lines or the path of preceding or surrounding vehicles. The dynamic radar cruise control is operating. The lane width is approximately 10 to 13 ft. (3 to 4 m). The turn signal lever is not being operated. The vehicle is not being driven around a sharp curve. The vehicle is not accelerating or decelerating more than a certain amount. The steering wheel is not being turned with a certain amount of steering force or more. The hands off steering wheel warning (Hands off steering wheel warning operation) is not operating. The vehicle is being driven in the center of a lane. Temporary cancelation of functions When the operating conditions are no longer met, a function may be temporarily canceled. However, when the operation conditions are met again, operation of the function will automatically be restored. (Operating conditions of function) If the operating conditions of a function are no longer met while the function is operating, a buzzer may sound to indicate that the function has been temporarily canceled. The steering assist operation of the function can be overridden by the steering wheel operation of the driver. Hands off steering wheel warning operation When the system determines that the driver has removed their hands from the steering wheel, a warning message urging the driver to hold the steering wheel and the symbol shown in the illustration are displayed on the multi-information display. If the driver continues to keep their hands off of the steering wheel, the function is temporarily canceled. When the system detects a steering wheel operation, the warning stops. Always keep your hands on the steering wheel when using this system, regardless of warnings. Situations in which the hands off steering wheel warning may not operate properly The warning may not operate normally depending on the vehicle condition, the operating status of the steering wheel, and the road surface condition. Vehicles with LCA: The warning may not operate in the following situations even if the driver has removed their hands from the steering wheel. When an object other than the driver’s hand is touching the steering wheel When an object, arm, etc. is near a large portion of the steering wheel Steering wheel operations may not be detected correctly and the warning may operate in the following situations. When the driver’s hand is rested lightly on the steering wheel while driving When a steering wheel cover is installed* When the driver is wearing gloves* When foreign matter is attached to the steering wheel* When the driver is gripping the wood trim, seam of the leather, spokes, or other part of the steering wheel that does not have sensors* *Vehicles with LCA Lane departure warning during LTA operation A warning is issued if the vehicle departs from the lane during LTA operation regardless of the LDA setting. If a steering wheel operation equivalent to changing lanes is detected, the system will not determine this to be lane departure and it will not issue a warning. Enabling/disabling the system The LTA will change between ON/OFF each time the LTA switch is pressed. When the LTA is ON, the LTA indicator will illuminate. Warning: Situations in which the functions may not operate properly In the following situations, the functions may not operate properly and the vehicle may depart from its lane. Do not overly rely on these functions. The driver is solely responsible for paying attention to their surroundings and operating the steering wheel as necessary to ensure safety. When a preceding or surrounding vehicle changes lanes or changes course (Your vehicle may follow the preceding or surrounding vehicle and also change lanes or changes course) When a preceding or surrounding vehicle is swaying (Your vehicle may sway accordingly and depart from the lane) When a preceding or surrounding vehicle departs from a lane (Your vehicle may follow the preceding or surrounding vehicle and also depart from the lane) When a preceding or surrounding vehicle is being driven extremely close to the left/right lane line (Your vehicle may follow the preceding or surrounding vehicle accordingly and depart from the lane) When there are moving objects or structures in the surrounding area (Depending on the position of the moving object or structure relative to your vehicle, your vehicle may sway) When the vehicle is struck by a crosswind or the turbulence of other nearby vehicles Situations in which the sensors and the systems may not operate properly: Situations in which the sensors and the systems may not operate properly Situations in which the lane may not be detected: Situations in which the lane may not be detected LTA indicatorOperation display of steering wheel operation support The operating state of the LTA system is indicated.
